Srinagar, July 5

The historic Mughal and Sinthan roads, connecting the Kashmir valley to Poonch-Rajouri and the Chenab valley regions, respectively, were thrown open for vehicular traffic on Monday after remaining closed for nearly two years following the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status in August 2019.

“Light motor vehicles as well as heavy motor vehicles were allowed to ply on the Mughal road on Monday. The road was reopened for civilian movement after two years,” an official said. The roads were closed on August 4, 2019, as a precautionary measure before the Centre abrogated Article 370. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
